  31. The Treasure-hunt--Flint's Pointer

        _31. U Cerka de pluto-ma - un indika-ru de Flinti


"Jim" said Silver when we were alone... "You and me must stick close, back to back like, and we'll save our necks..."
_Silva pa dice, kron na habe solo, "Jim, tu e mi du nece es proxi alelo, dorsa a dorsa, e bi na fu tena bio."

Just then a man hailed us from the fire that breakfast was ready...
_Kron-la pe lo piro pa dice; matina vora-ma habe prepara.

"Aye, mates," said he, "it's lucky you have Barbecue to think for you with this here head... Us that has the boats, I reckon, has the upper hand."
Silva pa dice, "Ja, panto ami, id es boni; vi habe mi, u kuko-an, pro akti puta pro se per u-ci kefa. Na; qi habe bi mikro navi, habe ma tekno."

"As for hostage," he continued, "that's his last talk, I guess, with them he loves so dear...."
An pa du dice, "De imuni-sura-pe, u-la dice pa es fini dice ko mu; de qi an tali este amo."

... All in soiled sailor clothes and all but me armed to the teeth.
_Panto mis, anti mi, habe plu no-puri mari-an vesti e poli arme-ru epi se.

Other men were variously burthened, some carrying picks and shovels...
Plu difere habe plus kargo; oligo ex qi tena plu spatuta e fosi-ru.

Well, thus equipped, we all set out...
_Kontinua-co panto na pa proto viagia ko plu tali nece-ru.

At the first outset, heavy, miry ground and a matted, marish vegetation greatly delayed our progress; but by little and little the hill began to steepen and become stony under foot...
_Kron proto ki, ponde e aqa tera ko plu mari planta pa sti lento; na ki ad ante. Anti-co u-la mikro monti pa gene mikro po mikro ma klina e ma poli lito pro pedi.

At the foot of a pretty big pine... a human skeleton lay, with a few shreds of clothing, on the ground.
_Lo basi de mega konifera - un homi skeleto ko plu paleo mero ex vesti es epi tera.

The man lay perfectly straight--his feet pointing in one direction, his hands, raised above his head like a diver's, pointing directly in the opposite.
_U-la andro es epi tera ko rekti kumbe - bi pedi; qi dona indika de mo direkti, e bi manu; qi es super kefa, e indika kontra direkti.

Observed Silver. "Here's the compass... Just take a bearing, will you, along the line of them bones."
_Silva pa vide, "U-ci es homo nordi-me. Gene logi de direkti akorda direkti de plu osteo."

Said the fellow with the bandage; "but if ever sperrit walked, it would be Flint's..."
Un andro ko kefa-te pa dice: "Si uno spiritu ex andro pa es ci po morta, id es de Flinti."

"Come, come," said Silver; "stow this talk... Fetch ahead for the doubloons."
Silva pa dice, "No-sofi, no-sofi. Sto dice de u-la. Ki ad ante tende gene plu aureo moneta."

Glosa 1000

 Why 1000 words? _1000 verba qo-te? Language instructors have found that when language learners reach the level of having a 1000 word vocabulary, they are able to have simple conversations in the language. Linguists have also observed that the average daily vocabulary of a speaker, no matter which language they speak, consists of about 1000 words. Therefore 1000 words seem to be the logically sized vocabulary for a constructed international language. _Plu lingua dona-sko-pe pa detekti; kron plu xeno-lingua gene-sko-pe gene u tekno de 1000 numera verba-fa, mu pote dice per simpli mode ko plu plus homi de u-la lingua.

Glosa 1000 Words with Explanations

(Last update 2026-06-03) If you cannot find a word in this list, you really do not need another word. For instance, there is no word for "desk" in this list. Oh, no! Is the language deficient? Is there some kind of limbo here? Instead of inventing or adding a new word, just say what the word means. What is a desk? A piece of furniture you write on. Therefore grafo-mo, "write-furniture," is the word for "desk."  Sometimes an entire phrase may be necessary to state what you mean. "Department store" can be expressed as u mega boteka ko poli difere ra . That is just the way it goes with a language with a small vocabulary! After you say it like this once, you can usually say u boteka , and people will know what you mean. You need to get out of the habit of thinking that one meaning (MY meaning, which is better than anyone else's meaning) should have one word. In all languages the meaning of words varies. The first step in learning Glosa 1000 is ge...
